Marker Text:
The Rev. S.G. O'Bryan organized this church in Nov. 1854. Frank Broadus, N.W. Crain, W.S. Gill, Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Kellum, Henry Rogers, and Mr. and Mrs. S.F. Sparks were charter members. They met in a log schoolhouse, and later at Bosqueville College. In 1887 the Bosque Masonic Lodge and this church jointly built a meeting house that burned within four months. The first sanctuary was completed in 1895; present one in 1917. One of the oldest rural congregations in McLennan County, this church has worshiped without interruption since 1854. (1978)
